15 hours in a Business class is more or less easy. Sleeping 6 or 7 hours while lying is luxury. 15 hours or longer in the economy class is horror.
Depends. I did 14 hours on Qatar economy, didn’t have much fuss.
Try United or Delta economy. Paper thin seats
It is not as horror as 20 years ago, at least nowadays there are wifi and even if you don't want to pay for wifi, there are still PTV and power plugs in economy, UA was an earlier airline that fly ultra long haul, from mid 90s they were already flying close to 16 hours ORD-HKG nonstop on their 744, there was nothing to entertain you in economy other than the pull down big screen on the bulkhead, you watch whatever is showing on the screen if not bring a book. There wasn't economy plus back then neither, so economy was cramped, 31" legroom and 17" seat width
@@rawasianchicago 20 years ago there where no 15 hours flights, right?
I disagree. I am blessed and extremely fortunate that I am able to fly biz / first on my long haul trip, and personally I find that after around 7-8 hours, it starts to get long. Absolutely more comfortable and easier than doing it in economy though, forsure.
Hey Jeb! Quick tip for your next 787 flight. If your window is allowing too much heat in, ask for a cover! Its a silicone window cling that the purser has in a compartment near their 1L door!
Could you do one of your longest flights series from economy? I fully know it’ll suck more but for the common person most of us fly economy and it would be nice to see that experience
The Jazzguy13 does mostly economy which is what most people fly so we get an idea of what it will be like. I like videos of business class too but it is nice to see economy.
I did this flight in Economy + United to Houston, too. It sucks if the cabin is full, but it usually isn't. Out of a half dozen times I've only had someone next to me once.
@@canyonoverlook9937 not so much any more. hes getting those influencer rates, so hes in all lux stuff these days. should be labeled as sponsored content, maybe the irs wil go after him.
I did this flight back in 2015 when it was on the A-380. I was assigned the back row aisle seat in economy. It was one of the best flights I have ever had. It felt quicker than my usual flight to LAX.
Living in Australia I have flown on the A380 a lot and I can say it is by far the best "ride" in the sky. All that extra mass smooths the bumps out an awful lot! They are also super quiet inside. I have flown the Kangaroo route, also through Doha and Dubai and to Dallas before they swapped it out for the 787.
I love Qantas and Air New Zealand and I really wanted you to review them so I am glad you finally reviewed both and enjoyed the experience.I love this new series.Keep up the amazing work as you always do.
I’ve taken this exact flight on this exact airline in business class. In my opinion it was truly spectacular and I absolutely love Australia probably my favorite vacation destination of all times. I went from my home airport in Indiana to Dallas and then from Dallas to Sydney and then we made the return flight exactly the same. I’ve also gone to Australia by flying from Chicago to Seoul South Korea, and then on to Sydney on Asiana. It was also amazing. 😊 ✈️
You must be rich.😅
I remember growing up on the north side of DFW seeing the Qantas’ 747-400. And was there when to watch the first Qantas A380 at DFW. Growing up seeing those planes sparked my passion for aviation and can proudly call myself a pilot.
This is a similar story to mine I live 20 minutes north of DFW and have gone spotting there plenty of times. Now I am in flight training right near my home airport DFW.
This was such a timely review. We are flying from LAX to SYD next year. I spent weeks studying reviews for flying via Dallas or LAX, and on a 787 vs the A380. Ultimately I went with the A380 for a few reasons. 1) We are infrequent flyers and do not have the points to upgrade (or the money) so we went with the A380 as it appears the PE product was better. Next, I was struck by your statement you waited an hour in line for the lavatory to change. In numerous reviews, I read complaints about not enough lavatories on the 787 flights. On the A380, there's 60 seats for 2 lavatories, 30 seats per lavatory. Not only that, there's stairs at the back and you can always go down the stairs to the lower deck where there are 2 more lavatories...just in case. Of course, people could come up the stairs but still. On the Qantas 787, there's 194 people (PE + Economy) for 4 lavatories, meaning 48.5 people per lavatory. It's even worse on the AA 787 version, 51 seats per lavatory. So that convinced me to do the A380. Not to mention the A380 was always on my bucket list, having flown the 747 via Air New Zealand years ago.
That’s my kind of research! A380 for the win! 🏆
I hope they don't change the aircraft for you, I booked LAX to SYD specifically for an A380 and a few weeks before the flight they changed it to a 787, this was about 3 weeks ago when I flew
@@jokerface20 both the A380 and the B789 have Premium economy
@user-nm2bg8dc8t I'm aware the person said they specifically booked the a380 however, I've just booked a reward seat on the A380 for next year as I want to try a new aircraft type. I'm aware the seats are the same, the 80 is just more spacious I've been told
I think the A380 option is the better one!!
The A380 - I was one of the lucky Airbus employees to do the "Early Long Flight" tests before it entered into service. 12 hours , but from Toulouse to Toulouse.
I still have the rather wonderful souvenir bag & contents we were given.
I've since then flown London to Bangkok and back a few times on one. Always enjoyable, even in the economy seats.
I love the A380. By far the best plane in the skies and I am so happy that Qantas is bringing some back. I have flown on Qantas A380 from Los Angeles to Sydney and British Airways A380 from Singapore to London,
A few months before COVID, I flew a Qantas A380 from Dallas to Sydney. Flying from Dallas to Sydney on the Airbus A380 was a remarkable experience. The engines were so big it was almost comical. Throughout the journey, the spacious cabin and attentive crew made it comfortable and enjoyable. The wide array of entertainment options kept me engaged during the long flight, Qantas is a great airline. I still have a picture of the A380 stairs on my phone, an experience I'll never forget!
Jeb you’re easily my favorite travel blogger of any kind. Really appreciate your gratitude and humbleness. I may never be able to afford the travel you do, so it’s nice to live vicariously.
Stunning window views Mr Brooks. Agree the shortage of bathrooms is a real issue on the Qantas 787 - especially when everyone wakes up and wants to change. No wifi i suspect is more Qantas penny-pinching - head office more focused on shareholders than customers. Agree the seats are excellent though.
Thanks so much for watching, Dennis! Loved the Qantas crew, but it was clear the company is finding savings wherever they can. Sorry we missed you on this trip, but excited to see you in 2023!!
Hey Dennis! 👋
The seats really do look good, especially at the footwells. Many business class pods have footwells so narrow that I can’t really turn over laying down. The worst I’ve ever experienced was on a flight from LHR to CAI on a BA A321 - I had a ‘throne’ single seat (I think the even number rows were double seats), but in lie-flat mode I had a feeling of panic with the tiny footwell and my body lowered to the floor between 2 solid walls. I think that’s when I decided to be cremated!😂
Did he say he walked through economy? Was he still in his PJs? Didn't you have a name for that in a video a few years ago? LOL
Got to fly on BA A380 this year from DFW to London, and then on the return did the the BA A380 from London to Chicago. We flew in Premium Economy and it was awesome! I was concerned when the pandemic hit and the A380s started to be grounded that we'd never have a chance to fly on one. So I was excited when BA brought them back just in time for our trip to Scotland. I was amazed at how quiet the cabin was and how smooth the ride was!
These videos don't get old they truly are a treat
Gotta say, the windows at night makes everything look purple and pink which is awesome in my eyes.
Thank you Jeb for yet more wholesome content, can’t wait for next weeks video 😊
A few years ago while working on ships, I was lucky enough to call Sydney my homeport…but I had to get there first.
American 737 from Miami to LAX
Qantas A380 from LAX to Melbourne
Qantas 767 from Melbourne to Sydney
Awesome flights all around. Qantas service is amazing. The 767 was also a thrill. First time I’d seen a retrofitted classic with iPads hanging on seat backs to stream movies.
Great video Jeb!! I love winding down a long day with a travel video by you.
Had the pleasure of doing CPH-DXB on the A380, before they went back to the 777. Was an incredible feeling sitting by the wing, and just feeling the heavy body spending alot of time getting airborne. Very comfortable and spacious cabin!
I flew the same route on the A380 in business class in 2018. You even walked the same way to the lounge and to the plane, it brought back great memories. Their business class seats and food are just great, and had a good night sleep too, of course.
Great job Jeb! An international long haul on the 787 is on my bucket list.
There's just nobody better on travel blog YT than Jeb. Have loved watching his channel grow over the years, and the post COVID travel bonanza for 2022.
Another great video, and not far away from 500k subs now! Well deserved :)
I watch a ton of Noel Phillips videos to help with my flight anxiety. One of your videos popped up (Delta Hubs) and your personality convinced me to subscribe and watch. Keep it up.
Really enjoyed this video. I fly out of IAD regularly. I've been watching your videos for inspiration for when I splurge on a business class seat for my next international flight!
I think think it’s nice that you acknowledge how fortunate you are to do what you’re able to do…most of us would love that job
Thanks for the video Jeb and Susan. Flew in A380 between Frankfurt and Houston. Best flights ever! So quite!!
Hi Jeb, thanks for a pragmatic review of this route on this aircraft. My wife and I have flown this route twice pre-Covid in Economy on QANTAS' A380 and had a great experience both times. Food was good and I was able to sleep which is hard for me. I think being able to walk across two levels in Economy was a great way to stretch our legs. The IFE was great back then. I agree with you that the flight maps are essential for long-haul travel. Access to the lavatories wasn't an issue either. We have also done the hop from Sydney to London a few times on the QANTAS A380 and had good experiences too. That said, often it is the little things that leave the most lasting impression on a trip, and QANTAS not getting the passenger to lavatories ratio correct on the fleet's most modern places designed for long-haul flight is a concern. if you had an issue accessing one in Business Class, what chance do the rest of us in Economy have!!
I travelled from Manchester UK to Brisbane and back via Dubai in an Emirates A380 business class in 2020 just as COVID was kicking off. I had to return a week early missing out on New Zealand so I aheading back there early next year with KLM and Malaysia Air on the way out and Qantas and Air France on the way back. It means I get to travel with four new airlines. My favourite so far is Virgin Atlantic because the cabin crew are so friendly and helpful and the food is fabulous. Flown with them 3 times, all business class, so far and planning another flight in their A300-neo later next year. Keep the videos coming both of you, I love them.
yes i have flown on the a380 last year from london to san francisco and i can say it was one of my best experiences in the sky with the 747
I really look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks to you and Suzanne!
I flew the A380 on British from Chicago O’Hare to Heathrow. I did it immediately after Covid testing requirements were lifted, for fear of never flying the A380! Fortunately, it seems that a number of airlines will keep them around for some time to come. I sat in economy on the upper deck. Super quiet, smooth ride! I would’ve preferred Emirates or Singapore Air, but the British was the cheapest and most convenient. The next time you are in Dallas, make sure you do some plane spotting at DFW Founders Plaza!
I also went out of my way to fly the BA A380 from ORD to LHR on the upper deck economy section last month!
SAME
As a regular steerage passenger, any 'pointy end of the aircraft' seems luxurious to me! LOL! Thank you for the video!
I took this flight but the reverse way-Dallas to Sydney. And yes,,it’s a loooooong flight. It was my first time flying with Qantas and I was really, really impressed. Great, friendly service. In fact, I am a musician and band leader and I was taking my cruise ship band to go start a cruise ship contract in the South Pacific sea. Prior to Dallas we had flown from our home in London Canada, to Toronto, and then to Dallas where we had a seven-hour layover. By the time we boarded the last flight, we were legless with exhaustion, having been travelling for 18 hours or so-with a 19 hour flight ahead of us, still. Once on board and settled, I noticed an empty row of seats. I asked the flight attendant if I could move to it and stretch out. After explaining our travel day, she was kind enough to say yes. She said ‘I’m supposed to charge you $250 for that, but you have already had quite a day!’ and gave it to me for free. After taking two Valium (and a Jack and Coke) I stretched across the three seats, made a bed of pillows and blankets, and slept for 7 solid hours. And upon waking, I shared the seat with my band mates in rotation, who were all stuck in crowded economy seats. Add the free bar and great food service to this, and it was a much smoother flight than it could have been. Thanks, Qantas!
p.s. It was also the first time I ate a Tim Tam…and now I’m addicted.
Love Tim Tams!
Love your reviews Jeb,always very factual without the gush of some others.
Hi Susan and Jeb, glad I caught up with this review, because it is a true representation of what lucky people will experience post Covid on their way to the US in J . So thanks, but as you hinted, a similar flight on an A 380 on the upper deck to DFW to meet my young master in Memphis is just the best. You both please keep them coming, until my own flight out of Aus.
Great video, Jeb. On my first trip to Sydney, I was on a Virgin Australia flight on a 777 - it was amazing in all respects in PE. The second trip was on Delta in First Class on a 777 - the lie-flat seat made a big difference. It was also amazing, especially the lead Captain who came back and talked with some of us. He had even done a very funny talk outside the gate before we started boarding. You're right - it's hard to find things to do on a 14-15 hour flight!!! I can't wait to go back and take my wife!
Thankyou for doing a Qantas video I really appreciate you repping aus
I flew in an Air France A380 from CDG to IAD in business class. It was awesome to see it looming at the gate, knowing we would board it. We were on the upper level so that was a cool experience. But the AF business class at the time was a bit dated and, honestly, once inside it’s not dramatically different from other jumbo wide bodies. That being said, I am thrilled I was able to fly an A380. Now I still need to tick a 747 off the list before those all go away.
You put up really great videos very detailed keep up the good work
I Flew on a A380 back in May. LAX to Dubai. What a phenomenal plane. Emirates airlines is truly special and an experience that I will never forget.
I’m a proud Texan seeing you flying from/to DFW again! And you should try the American Airlines route from Auckland to Texas!
I have done this flight on a 747 when the route began out of Brisbane first, then a 380 out the DFW and SYD and most recently 787. Enjoyed the 380 the most.
Really great review, thank you both so much. Really like your style and how you show so much. Sadly l can’t afford Business Class but it was sure nice to see what it’s like and dream about it. Can’t wait to get back aboard Qantas and fly back to the beautiful USA! Will check out your other videos.
Hi Jeb and Susan, I'm a follower of yours, from Italy. Your travel stories are amazing!!
Travelled on the A380 6 times. 2 with Emirates and 4 with Qantas. All amazing. You can never go wrong with a flight on the A380
I am from Australia 🇦🇺 can't wait to finally fly direct to Dallas!
Nice, informative video Jeb. I love Suzanne's subtle dig at the size of your wine glass !!!
I think i actually saw Jeb’s plane upon approach in Dallas! Keep up the good work jeb!
That Business Class seat looks great! Definitely a luxury to spend 15 hours on it!
I love a380. I flew QR a few times from Doha to BKK in business class. It is my favourite business class in the sky!
In 2018 my wife and I traveled to Rome via Frankfurt and flew the A380 from IAH to FRA (roundtrip) on Lufthansa. We were fortunate enough to grab seats in the upper deck economy section for both flights which has only 5 rows in a 2-4-2 configuration. There was even a flight attendant assigned to our little area which made the experience feel more premium. Years ago your flight from SYD to DFW was serviced by an A380. We used to stay at a resort/water park next to DFW, and we saw both the Quantas and Emirates A380's up close on their final approaches.
Love Susan's happiness with her pj's
Hi Jeb! Great Video As Always. I am flying an Airbus 380 from JFK To MXP With Emirates. Keep up the great work with your amazing videos!
great job jeb! keep up the good work :D😊
Jeb, I thought I was the only one obsessed with flying commercially! I loved it as a kid and that feeling never went away. My family was laughing at me because I flew my wife and kids into an airport that was further away than necessary because it was an airport I hadn’t been to, ha ha. I wish I could do what you do for a living! I just flew key lime, air, a nine seat turbo prop out of Cortez, Colorado, very fun!
Great vlog as always! When BA got their 747-400s they did LHR-SYD v.v. The flight time was about 18-20h and the pax was limited to about 200. It only lasted for one or two seasons. I want to fly the Donald Duck plane. The Dreamliner is still on my to do list. The A350 also. Keep up the good work. Be safe! I do not like lounges. It is more pax in them than in the terminal. Also the food has been luke warm/cold for hours. Then I buy my own food and find a quiet corner in the terminal. Thats me.
Yep, flew on QF1 A380 SYD-LHR but not the traditional route, in 2014 we stopped in at Dubai. Loved it.
The First Class lounge is one of the best in the world, with a spa, restaurant… fabulous.
Love the amenity kit!
June 2017 I flew LAX to SYD, then SYD to DFW - both were A380’s then. I too flew the upper deck business class. My best flights ever - also most expensive.
That livery on the 787 is magic
Great video as always, and a huge personal thank you for the little shout out showing the image of the Wikipedia article of the longest flights, as I am one of the main editors there!
So cool to see you do thst flight as dfw as my home airport so cool to see u do 1 of the longest flights into it
I flew the A380 from LAX to Dubai a few years ago, en route to HRE. What a beautiful machine.
I've made several flights on the A380 in the last ten years and I can heartily recommend it as an airframe to aim for when looking at flights. I've flown it from Melbourne to LA (and vice-versa), and I feel certain I've flown it at least once between Melbourne and San Francisco...
Because I don't have a lot of money to spend, I fly economy. I typically choose seats at the butt-end of the plane, thinking that people tend to prefer *not* to sit there for a whole mess of reasons. My experience on the A380, however, is a little different, and my favourite economy seats are actually on the UPPER deck. The last row in the centre is usually a 2-3-2 config (from memory) but the port-side end of the 3-seats is closed off by a bulkhead. 3 out of 5 trips I've had that row ALL TO MYSELF, which makes it a DIY SkyCouch! I find the WC to be a little more roomy and because you're so close to the galley - and because the upstairs flight attendants have fewer charges to look out for - food tends to be warmer and so does the service! (I don't know - it may also have a little to do with the Caramello Koalas I always share with the flight attendants!)
I got to fly the Air France A380 business class upper deck from CDG-IAD! So glad I got to experience it!
I cannot wait to see you fly this route! Another Ultra Long Haul flight on a QANTAS 787-9 Dreamliner! Woo Hoo! Last time you flew on a QF 787-9 if memory serves correctly it was QF9 from PER-LHR plus this time you’ve got Suzanne with you! I’ve only ever seen Paul Stewart take this route before…
I haven’t flown on an Airbus A380 yet… I can’t wait to fly on an A380 on any airline! I want to try QANTAS, EMIRATES, ETIHAD & ANA’s examples of the jet! 🎉 I also can’t wait to fly on the Inaugural Project Sunrise QANTAS FLIGHTS! Maybe we’ll fly on it together someday! 🤞
Also QANTAS having NO WIFI especially even for a cost is very poor! 😂
I've flown on the A380 on Qantas between LAX and SYD. It is a GREAT plane, a smooth quiet ride, and I love the forward-facing camera (too bad it's dark most of the flight). The biggest thing that struck me was how slow it seems to go when taking off and landing. (It's not, it just feels that way...) Would fly again!
Thanks for the great review Jeb, luckly you had the 3 hour for that connection, not surprised by the delay in cleaning the cabin due to not enough staff and outsourcing by Qantas also, there is a new MEL DFW flight which began in early December 2022.
Did this route on the last A380 on this route in March 2020 flying back to Toronto before both Australia and Canada closed for good in face of pandemic. Miss this route and A380 on it. Also, Qantas restarted their MEL - DFW using Dreamliner, making it 2nd longest in their map, behind Perth to London. Can’t wait to be back down under and fly Sydney to New York via Auckland when the services begins next year.
Love to see you back in the skies!! And so lovely for you to be enjoying it with your partner, apologies if it’s your wife.
I flew on the first commercial A380 flight Singapore to Sydney. I live in the UK so it was an absolutely fantastic amazing experience. I landed on Thursday afternoon, spent 72 hours in Sydney then it was time to get back to London Heathrow.
Did not have time for jet lag!!
we flew from LAX to Melbourne and back on an A380 (Qantas)in 2018, it was great. have also done trips to Dubai on A380(Emirates) from NYC. can't beat that airplane for comfort even in economy. Hope you get to fly on one soon.
Pre pandemic, we flew Quantas from Dallas on an A 380 and back home on their 747, all business class. These planes are great for this very long flight.
“Please never mistake criticism on this channel for a lack of gratitude”
Literally 1 minute later
“Is that wine glass for ants?”
It was a Zoolander reference! 🤣
Ive flown Qantas A380's between Melbourne and LA return and one Sydney LA...all Pr e mium Economy...fantastic flights....love your channel...
Ive flown the a380 Emirates Christchurch to Sydney! So cool amazing plane to fly on even though it was a short 3hr flight it was still great
Love this channel. Longest flight for me was LAX-SIN on the SQ A359-ULR in premium economy, 2019. Almost 17 hours. Flew the QF A380 LAX-SYD in economy in 2009. Back from BRE on the 744. Lucked out with empty seats next to me on both flights.
I've never been on an A380 but I'm excited because I booked one of the last A380 operated flights from JFK-SIN on Singapore in May!
That's I beautiful sight out of the window early in the morning ☕
Excellent trip report Jeb!😸
One of my Favourite Flightroute was the Air New Zealand Flight from Auckland to LHR with a stop in LAX
Love seeing you in Australia. I’m from Melbourne.
Great video, Thanks, have flown this route a number of times. Used to be an A380 SYD-DFW sadly no longer. I have flown from Dallas to LAX to get on board the A380 and the Qantas First lounge is incredibly good if you have the FF status. It is surprising how quickly the flight goes once you have a good sleep and watch a couple of movies.
Flying on this route in February as part of a RTW trip..should be fun.
Sunset trips are awesome :P
As always a great vlog Jeb
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good (Sunday) morning from New Zealand Jeb and Suzanne😊 I have been lucky enough to fly on the mighty A380 on 3 occasions, with 3 different airlines, though only in economy class, but still a pleasant experience each time. I flew Singapore airlines non stop Changi to London Heathrow, Qantas on the Kangaroo route you alluded to, though in reverse, London Singapore Sydney, though I had hoped to fly on the Dreamliner from London to Perth, but that flight was heavily delayed, meaning I'd miss a connection in Perth, so I was rebooked onto the Kangaroo route flight. The final time I flew on the A380, was with Emirates airlines, on possibly the shortest flight that aircraft operates, from Christchurch New Zealand to Sydney, barely 3 hours in the air. Those journeys were all pre covid, in 2018 and 2019...
Like the Tudor watch. I think thats one they released this year? Great video. You clearly like watches!
I flew on the A380 from DFW-SYD back in 2015 when they were using the A380 for that route. I really enjoyed it.
I flew on a A380 from Chicago O’haire to Heathrow… I flew business. The funny thing was from up above, I believe first class. There was red wine dripping from above onto my mom
I have been on an A380 once between London and Dubai. I was happy to be booked on one from LA to Auckland on Quantas, but then they canceled that flight. I was, however, able to do this route later in our trip as we returned to the states back in 2012. With the amount of entertainment available, I really didn't mind that long trip. I would do it again.
With both Qantas and Air NZ now routing their New York services through Auckland I would be really interested in seeing a comparison of SYD/MEL JFK compared to the old route using the horror connection at LAX.
Hi Jeb. Fair review. Have to agree with you about the Electric Dimming Windows on the 787. The fact they still haven't worked out how to entire black out the window and it still lets heat in is why I try and avoid the 787. Even in its dimmest mode there is still enough light coming through which makes it a bit harder to sleep. Keep up the good work.
My FAVOURITE DreamLiner, I hope she comes back to Alaska, my ❤️ belongs to Yam Dreaming!!
3:55, Yes I have been on an A380, when I was 8 years old back in June 2017 when I was going to the UK to see family, I believe the airline I flew with on the A380 was Thai Airways since we made a stopover in Bangkok, Thailand from our starting point in Melbourne, Australia where I live to swap planes so we could continue onwards to London, and we were on an A380. What made it more special, we were in the TOP deck of the aircraft! I remember climbing up those stairs to the top deck, and as soon as we started taxiing, I automatically go onto the screen on the seat in front of me, and I watched Shrek, and as soon as the song heard at the start of the film 'All Star' ended, the plane was already airborne, and I knew this was the start of an amazing memorable childhood memory, flying on my favourite Commercial airliner aircraft, and in the top deck of it!
Good review! Business for sure. I can't imagine being in torture in coach for that long.
Nice video, It was really cool! I’ve been to Dallas
I see this aircraft most of the time in that livery fly over my house almost every day ❤DFW
